Mastodon - Clandestiny lyrics Verse 1: Troy Sanders Silent all your life Running without vision Hollowed out inside Wronging all that’s right Brent Hinds There’s no cause to be alarmed And no reason to escape from us There’s no illness and no pain And no thought of any suffering Verse 2: Troy Sanders The road is long and bare No clarity, no light The moment came and swallowed us.
